"Tim, never mind." Tom's voice sounded flat, almost like a tired whisper. His eyes were slightly dimmed, as if all resistance had receded from within him. "I'm okay with this."

The words pierced Tim's chest like a cold dagger. No, this wasn't just a statement. To Tim, the words sounded like a veiled plea-not to convince him, but rather to convince Tom himself.

Stinging ran through his chest. His hand that had been clasped tightly was now slowly weakening. In the end, what else could he do?

Tim looked down, his shoulders slumped. Words seemed futile, as if the air around him was too heavy to breathe. He could no longer look at his father's face-a face that was now filled with exhaustion and resignation.

Tom took a deep breath, suppressing all the emotions still churning in his chest. Forcibly, he turned his attention back to Kurt, putting on a smile that looked more like a mask than a genuine expression. "I apologize for what my son said, Young Master," he said, his voice remaining sof

    The man widened his eyes. Without hesitation, he stepped quickly toward Kurt and grabbed his son by the shoulders. “Hit you?”His tone was sharp, filled with shock and pent-up anger. His gaze immediately swept over Kurt's body-his eyes caught the dirty stains on his son's clothes, as well as the few faint bruises that dotted his skin.Kurt furrowed his brows deeply, his lips trembling slightly, as if he was holding back pain. His gaze was full of contrived resignation, asking for mercy.Beside him, Thompson hurriedly thrust his hand forward, exposing his swollen fingers. “Mr. Ben, look at this!” he complained in a pleading tone. “He almost dislocated my finger! If Rick hadn't helped me, I might have broken my hand!”Rick nodded quickly, adding to the dramatization with a tense look on his face, as if they had just escaped a terrible incident.In front of them, Tom stood rigid. His jaw was set, his eyes wide with shock. He knew nothing about this accusation, but a bad feeling began to

    “What? How?” Ben's forehead wrinkled, sharp lines carving his face. His jaw hardened, and his fingers clenched at his sides. “My son is the victim, Mr. Harvey.”Harvey didn't answer immediately. He just stared, his eyes sharp as knife blades slicing through the silence. The air in the room felt heavier, making Ben, who was usually outspoken, suddenly lost for words. His throat felt dry, and he had to swallow to ease his nerves.Harvey tilted his head slightly, his movements calm, almost like a predator watching its quarry. “Do you think I'm lying?”The words were short, but like lightning striking in the already tense air. Ben felt a cold sweat break out on the back of his neck. He hurriedly turned his gaze to Kurt, his breath hitching slightly. “Is that right, Kurt? Did you do something?”Kurt shook his head quickly. “I didn't-”“Be honest!” Ben's voice exploded, filling the room. His eyes widened, eyeballs flashing like embers in the wind. The veins in his neck bulged, pulsing like

    Harvey took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. His bleary eyes traced the chiseled lines on the large black door in front of him. So majestic, so cold.Silent. There was no sound other than his own breathing. Memories surfaced. The last time he stood here, he too looked up like this. Staring at the same door. Feeling the same atmosphere.But this time was different. Harvey lowered his gaze slightly. His eyes dimmed, as if he could see something behind the door-something that had been waiting for him for a long time. "That thing is behind this door," he muttered, his voice almost drowned out by the silence.Time had passed, many years.And yet, the memories lingered. Haunting. It stirs his heart. Harvey raised his hand. Slowly, his fingers almost touched the cold, solid surface of the door. Then, he stopped.Doubt crept over him. His hand hung in the air, his breath held.A touch. Gentle, but enough to stop her movement. Harvey turned his head. It was a woman. A neat uniform wrapped a

    Carmen was wide-eyed, her eyes fully rounded at the sight of Beck's actions. Forehead furrowed, her lips tightened. Without hesitation, she stepped quickly, approaching the man. “Mr. Beck, stop!” Her voice was slightly shaky, but still firm.She took a quick breath, trying to calm herself down. “You can't treat this gentleman like that.” Carmen gave Harvey a quick glance, trying to read his reaction. She had to do something. “He's just lost,” she continued, her tone more urgent now. “So, let him go.”Carmen stood her ground, her eyes still locked on Beck. However, the man didn't even acknowledge her.Instead of listening, Beck turned around, looking Carmen up and down. Cold. Condescending. “You...” Beck's voice was hoarse, sharp, slicing through the air like a knife. “Come with me to the museum guards.”His gaze was accusatory. “Your behavior is suspicious. Bringing this man here,” She squinted, shaking her head as if she had deduced everything. “You must be planning to do something b

    Seeing Paul's friendly reaction to Harvey, Beck froze in place. His mouth opened slightly, and his eyebrows knitted together in confusion. His head tilted slightly, trying to understand what had just happened. “What exactly is going on? Why is Mr. Paul acting like this?” Her mind was filled with doubt and disbelief.Meanwhile, Paul flashed a big smile, his expression instantly changing from stressful to enthusiastic. His hand stretched out, grasping Harvey's hand tightly, shaking it with unstoppable fervor. “Oh, Mr. Harvey! I really didn't expect to see you here.” His voice was full of reverence, as if the man's presence was a big surprise that he was looking forward to.Paul looked at Harvey with enthusiastic eyes, his lips forming a smile that was almost difficult to hide. His eyes were sparkling, like someone who had finally met the person he had been waiting for. Paul's shoulders were slightly forward, his body filled with an almost unstoppable energy of excitement.“I'm very plea

    Carmen shifted her gaze to the lower left, her forehead wrinkling as she tried to remember the rumors circulating in the office. Lately, something felt different-the stares that always followed her from behind, the whispers that broke off when she passed them. Like shadows lurking in silence, her colleagues always seemed to be watching her. However, every time she turned her head, they would pretend to be busy with their own work, as if they had never seen her at all.An uncomfortable feeling spread through her. There were moments when she caught a glimpse of their eyes-not just curiosity, but more than that. Gazes that contained judgment, doubt, maybe even jealousy.Then there were the whispers. The soft voices that crept through the air, faint but piercing. Occasionally, when she passed by, they would glance at each other, sharing a look as if confirming something only they understood. From their expressions, Carmen knew one thing, it was Carmen they were talking about.Carmen lifte

    Beck gasped at Harvey and Paul's words. As if he had just been struck by lightning, he raised his head, his eyes widened in shock. "Sir..." A soft voice escaped his lips, barely audible. His brows bent downward, his expression filled with panic and disbelief.With a hasty movement, Beck stepped forward, as if to approach Paul. "This is not right, Mr. Paul! Please, let me keep working here."His tone changed, full of resignation. "This is just a misunderstanding. I'm doing all this because I'm doing my job to the best of my ability. You know how I always put a lot of effort into my work." His gaze pleaded, his voice trembling delicately. "I'm even careful..."Paul's eyes remained cold, not showing the slightest sympathy. In fact, the look in his eyes grew sharper, narrowing as his trust in Beck faded. "You've gone too far." His voice was firm, almost emotionless. "With such ease, you spread rumors that have no evidence whatsoever."Paul sighed, as if holding back the irritation that wa

    As soon as the door was fully opened, cold air rushed in from the room, piercing the skin like a gust of wind from another world. Carmen reflexively took a shallow breath, her chest tightened by the sudden chill.Paul stepped aside elegantly, one hand raised in a polite gesture. "Please, Mr. Harvey."Harvey said nothing. With a calculating gaze, he stepped inside, as if to plumb the depths of the secrets hidden behind the black door.Behind him, Carmen bit her lip, swallowing the doubts that crept into her chest. Her legs felt a little heavy as she stepped, as if something in the room was trying to hold her back. She gulped, trying to ignore the chill that now came not only from the air, but also from the uncertainty clouding her mind.As soon as she entered the room, Carmen froze. Her eyes widened, transfixed by the vastness of the space before her. The ceiling soared high, barely visible in the darkness, while the solid stone walls seemed to hold an unspoken history.

    “Security! Take this filthy man out!” Adam screeched, his voice cracking like a whip through the air.Four large men burst through the crowd, their steps steady and alert. But when they reached the front of the circle and saw who was standing with Harvey, their movements suddenly slowed. Their gazes froze, and the once stout legs were now hesitant to act.Meanwhile, Harvey swatted Steve's hand away from his shoulder with a rough stomp. Steve staggered a step back, losing his balance for a moment, leaving several bystanders wide-eyed.In the next second, the click of guns rang out. Four gun barrels raised in unison, pointing directly at Harvey's chest. The pressure in the air rose sharply, like an invisible storm that everyone there could feel.“Stop right there! You've been aggressive to the God of War!” one of them exclaimed, his voice hardened, yet containing a nervous tone that could not be hidden. “You will be punished!”Harvey only turned his head slowly. His gaze swept over the

    The room was instantly tense. Everyone's eyes are fixed on Harvey, as if to swallow him whole. The smile on Steve's face vanished in a flash, replaced by a sharp frown on his forehead. He pulls his hand away and clears his throat softly, as if trying to quell the turmoil in his chest.Steve stared at Harvey, his eyes narrowed, his jaw hardened. His face begins to turn red, not from embarrassment, but from the anger boiling beneath his skin.But Harvey stood his ground. His gaze is calm, not backing down one bit. He met Steve's gaze coldly, as if the anger of the man in front of him was just a passing thought.Steve stepped forward, his steps heavy and full of ego. He stood directly in front of Harvey, then spouted words in a hoarse, stifled voice."Do you know me?"With a quiet gesture, Harvey shook his head, slow and sure."Should I?" he says flatly, but his tone cuts like a cold knife.The room rumbles again, but not with sound-it's with a slowly building anger. Some people began to

    “Welcoming the God of War here must not be a problem!” Adam's voice was high-pitched, full of pressure. His eyes were piercing, and his jaw was set. “The handing over of ancient weapons to the God of War is a sacred moment. If there are troublemakers...” He turned his head sharply toward Harvey, his final voice suppressed, “...I will not forgive him.”The veins in Adam's neck bulged, and his cheeks flushed with overflowing emotion. The few people standing nearby instantly moved closer to Harvey, as if commanded by contagious rage. Their gazes now turned into cynical glares, as if Harvey had tarnished the honor of the place.But Harvey just stood still. His shoulders did not move, his eyes did not flinch. He swept the crowd with a flat look, as if assessing how much they were ready to bully, but not important enough for him to respond.A single breath escaped her nose-long and deep, like someone stifling a laugh in the middle of a children's ruckus. Then her eyes stopped on Adam. His g

    Adam realized something was off. Since a few minutes ago, Harvey's gaze had never left him. It was no ordinary gaze-cold, piercing, as if it were penetrating an invisible wall of defense.Adam's steps slowed when he finally decided to get closer. His forehead wrinkles, a small crease at his temple signaling displeasure.“Are you after me for something?” his voice was flat, yet firm. “Your gaze is... disturbing.”Harvey didn't answer. He just breathed in slowly through his nose, like he was holding something heavy. His shoulders dropped slightly as the exhale escaped.Then, his eyes moved to the throne-the place that had made him uneasy in the first place. She looked at it intently, her eyelids narrowed, as if trying to read the meaning behind the artificial elegance.Zash and Ken could only stare at the scene with bated breath. Their bodies stiffened.Ken stepped quickly closer, a nervous expression evident. His eyebrows knitted together as he called out softly, half panicked, “Sir, w

    Harvey frowned, as if he couldn't believe the news. How could a rumor of this magnitude go unnoticed by him? Normally, he never bothered with the cheap drama of the rich who were often hungry for sensation. But this time, someone dared to use the God of War's name.What was the intent behind such foolish audacity?His gaze shifted, drawn by something striking at the far end of the room. On the stage, a throne stood majestically, exuding an aura of power that silenced the surrounding crowd. Intricate carvings adorned its surface, as if each curve spoke of glory. Needless to say, the throne was clearly reserved for the God of War.Harvey squinted, his lips curving in a faint smile."Oh, I can see that," he muttered softly, more to himself.Ken and Zash looked over as well.Ken immediately crossed his arms over his chest, his smile wide, full of excitement.excitement."Great, isn't it?" he said, his voice sounding half-proud. "That throne was custom-made in record time. It took extra la

    The day of the God of War's arrival in Rainvale had finally arrived.Harvey stepped into the same building as before-the place where he had met Kyle and Ray. But now, the great hall had changed drastically. Majestic columns towered high, giant draperies hung gracefully, while blazing music filled every corner of the room, raising the spirits of the entire building.With quiet steps, Harvey walked down the hall, his eyes sweeping the entire room with great interest. Every detail of this welcome party whispered one thing clearly-this was no ordinary event. This was a show of power."Great place," Harvey muttered flatly, almost expressionlessly. But his gaze remains sharp, scanning every corner, as if measuring something invisible.Harvey walked casually, blending in as if he was part of the crowd. His face remained flat, showing no hint of tension as he walked down the hall filled with important people.His steps halted for a moment when his ears caught the conversation of two people ne

    With steady steps, Harvey cut through the crowd of passersby around him. They were all busy with their own business, their eyes barely glancing at him. No one recognized him in this place-a situation that made Harvey smile inwardly. Anonymity was a luxury he rarely enjoyed, and this time, he used it to the fullest.The accidental encounter with Whitley earlier was imprinted on his mind, like a small stain on white paper. Harvey sighed softly. He didn't want to let his ruin his mood. So, with a leisurely pace and an observant gaze, he chose to walk away, down the hallways of the building, letting himself sink into silence while watching every corner carefully.Unintentionally, a man in a hurry bumped into Harvey's shoulder, sending the stack of documents in his hand scattering to the floor."Oh, sorry!" he exclaimed hurriedly, bending down in panic to grab the scattered sheets.Beside him, his friend immediately joined him in a crouch, gathering the documents in a haphazard motion."Yo

    Harvey stepped into the building, immediately sensing the busy atmosphere that enveloped every corner. In the lobby, employees milled about with hurried steps, each carrying a stack of documents that seemed to need to be handed over immediately, as if their world revolved around those files. Their movements were so fast, like they were being chased by something unseen, prompting an almost palpable tension in the air.The atmosphere was suffocating, filled with unspoken pressure. Harvey felt his chest slightly squeezed by the endless crowd. He averted his gaze for a moment, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly to calm himself. The sound of his breathing seemed to make room for his mind to refocus, to escape for a moment from the pressing hustle and bustle.Harvey frowned, feeling the irritation that was creeping up on him. What should have been a calm and orderly morning was now immediately greeted with a bustling and anxious scene. In front of this building, he felt like he was bein

    "Did you know? Something big is about to happen in Rainvale!" exclaimed a man with sparkling eyes, bowing slightly towards his two colleagues.His breathing sounded heavy with excitement. In the center of the crowded building, the three of them seemed to create a small space for their own excitement.The noise around them was ignored. They sat tightly, their faces serious yet full of anticipation."The God of War has reappeared!" the man continued, almost in a whisper but with a tone full of admiration."Huh?" The colleague next to him frowned, half in disbelief. "This is big news! We haven't heard from the God of War Kaelvarion in a long time.""It's been three years!" chimed in the third man, raising three fingers in the air as if to emphasize. "I remember very well, the last time I heard about him was three years ago. But why is he suddenly reappearing now?"The man exhaled heavily, his shoulders dropping slightly with the exhale. "I don't know," he muttered, forehead creased in do
